France stirred the pot in Mali

Slowly but surely, Canada is being drawn into the Mali conflict. The irony is that the situation was created by France in the first place. Remember June 2011 when France dropped arms to Berber tribal fighters in the Nafusa Mountains?

Well guess what? These Berbers are now in Mali, having failed to get posts in the new Libyan government, with arms courtesy of France.

At that time France, a leading force in the NATO operation, did not inform its allies about the move that went beyond the remit of UN resolution 1973. However, now when things are going out of hand, France is seeking assistance from its allies, Canada included.

A similar scenario is being played out in Syria where the rebels are being armed by a loose coalition of so called-democratic friends of Syria. I hate to imagine what will happen when these armed rebels take over Syria. Call Canada to help.
